County, CA, by an unknown person.
The human remains were brought to the
museum by a private collector and
accessioned into the Department of
Mammalogy in September, 1951. In
1993, the human remains were
transferred to the Department of
Anthropology (Accession numbers
LACM 51136, LACM.51137, and LACM
51139). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The accession records indicate two
individuals were recovered from a
location in Kings County ‘‘7 miles south
of Lemore.’’ The other individual was
recovered ‘‘5 miles south of Lemore.’’
Based on museum records, the human
remains are Native American. There is
no further documentation on the
original context of the human remains.
In or before 1956, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown locality from probably the
interior of California. The human
remains were brought to the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation by a private collector and
accessioned on September 18, 1956
(Accession number A.6988.56–24). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The collector designated the human
remains as that of a ‘‘Yokuk Indian.’’
The accession records do not indicate a
specific locality nor is there further
documentation on the original context
of the human remains. Based on
collector information and museum
records, the museum has determined
that the human remains are reasonably
believed to be Yokut.
The five individuals described above
had previously been determined to be
culturally unidentifiable. However,
during consultation, tribal
representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California established that
the Yokut had territories in portions of
central California, including Kern and
Kings Counties. The Yokut are divided
into Northern, Southern, and Foothill
Yokut. Descendants of the Yokut are
members of the Picayune Rancheria of
Chuckchansi Indians of California;
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California; Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.
Officials of the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of five
individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and the Picayune Rancheria of
Chuckchansi Indians of California;
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California; Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Margaret Ann
Hardin, Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County Foundation, 900
Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles, CA
90007, telephone (213) 763–3382, before
March 26, 2008. Repatriation of the
human remains to the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California may proceed after
that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County Foundation is
responsible for notifying the Picayune
Rancheria of Chuckchansi Indians of
California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California; Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California that this notice

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County

This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe) and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
After further consultation with the
tribal representatives, cultural affiliation
has been revised for a Notice of
Inventory Completion previously
published in the Federal Register of
August 16, 1999 (FR Doc 99–21068,
pages 44535–44536) by adding the Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California. This notice
supersedes the previously published
Notice of Inventory Completion of
August 16, 1999.
In 1932, human remains representing
one individual were recovered from the
Robla Lomas Ranch, Woodlake, Tulare
County, CA, under unknown
circumstances. In 1972, the human
remains were donated to the Los
Angeles County Museum of Natural
History (now the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation) by Helen Phillips Spears.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Collections documentation indicates
this individual was found with ten other
individuals on the Robla Lomas Ranch.
Documentation also suggests that the
human remains are probably those of an
individual killed by the Spanish during
a battle known to have occurred at the
Robla Lomas Ranch in 1832.
Ethnohistoric information, as well as
consultation with tribal representatives
of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of
the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
and Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California, indicates
that the Robla Lomas Ranch is within
the historic territory traditionally
occupied by the Yokut. Descendants of
the Yokut are members of the Picayune
Rancheria of Chuckchansi Indians of
California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California; Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River

in the control of Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology, Corvallis,
OR. The human remains and associated
funerary objects were removed from
Squaw Valley, Placer or Plumas County,
CA.
This notice is published as part of the

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible

remains was made by Oregon State
University Department of Anthropology
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Washoe Tribe of
Nevada & California (Carson Colony,
Dresslerville Colony, Woodfords
Community, Stewart Community, &
Washoe Ranches).
On October 23, 1964, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a cave in
Squaw Valley, Plumas or Placer County,
CA, by an individual identified in
museum records simply as ‘‘Johnson.’’
The date and circumstances of accession
by Oregon State University Department
of Anthropology are unknown. No
known individual was identified. The
four associated funerary objects are
three basalt projectile points and one
mustard chert projectile point.
The Washoe Tribe of Nevada &
California occupied the Squaw Valley
area, including Placer and Plumas
Counties, CA, as part of their traditional
territory. They traditionally carried out
funerary practices that included placing
projectile points of basalt and mustard
chert with the deceased at the time of
interment.

the four objects described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony. Lastly,
officials of the Oregon State University
Department of Anthropology have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (2), there is a relationship of
shared group identity that can be
